I really want to buy a house/TH but I also want to stay in DC proper (vs going to VA or MD suburbs) and those 2 things just do not go together. Not for us, anyway.

I do not know which I want more.
I think renting in the city is better than owning in the suburbs, especially given your jobs. That commute in is hell. Why pay for that?

The commute is definitely a huge reservation. The trade-off is getting much more space and other amenities (such as outdoor space) we can't get in the city.
Really the solution is to just stumble into a whole bunch of money so we can afford a house in the city

The grass is always greener on the other side. Right now, I am hating home ownership. It's so much work. But when I think back to when we rented, it was just as much of a PITA to deal with a landlord.
I think the solution is to win the lottery so that I can pay someone to manage my house for me. But then that would probably create its own issues. Mo' money, mo' problems

Have you thought about getting a 2-flat? My brother did that in the city (DC) and rented out the garden apartment to help pay his mortgage. Of course being a landlord isn't for everyone, but it worked out fine for him. We have a couple rental properties and haven't had any major issues either (knock on wood).
